Edison State Prepares to Open Troy Location
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Scheduled for August 28
Edison State Community College continues to make progress on their
newest location in Troy, which is on schedule to open for fall classes
that begin on August 26, 2019. Edison State at Troy was established to
meet the needs of the growing healthcare industry and is positioned to
be the center of healthcare education and training for the Upper Miami
Valley.
“We’re excited to expand our offerings in the Upper Miami Valley,” said
Chad Beanblossom, Vice President of Regional Campuses. “We have
developed strong partnerships in our service area, and the addition of
this campus will allow us to better serve the healthcare industry.”
Located at 859 West Market Street neighboring the new Dayton Children’s
Outpatient Center, Edison State at Troy will be home to several allied
health service programs as well as numerous general education courses.
Students will have the opportunity to complete career degrees,
certificates, or short-term technical certificates entirely in Troy in
programs such as medical assistant, physical therapy assistant,
phlebotomy, and emergency medical technician. Plans to offer sonography
at the campus are also in the development stage.
Edison State’s degree and certificate career pathways in allied health
sciences prepare students for immediate employment or the option to
continue their education to obtain a bachelor’s degree through strong
articulation agreements with four-year universities across the state.
It is through a new co-location agreement with Franklin University that
students will have the opportunity to pursue a healthcare degree
beginning at Edison State for the first three years, and finishing the
fourth year of a bachelor’s degree by taking Franklin’s courses onsite
at Edison State’s Troy location or through Franklin’s online offerings.
“This cooperative agreement between Edison State and Franklin
University works to the benefit of students by providing high quality,
convenient options and maximizes the resources of both institutions,”
said Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson.
Partnerships with Premier Health–Upper Valley Medical Center and the
Troy Development Council have also proven to be critical in helping
Edison State at Troy come to fruition.
Edison State at Troy will be equipped with modern healthcare
technology, including two mock hospital rooms as well as
state-of-the-art science and computer labs designed to provide
real-world training experiences for students.
An open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new campus will be
held on Wednesday, August 28 with the open house beginning at 3:30 p.m.
and the ribbon-cutting ceremony beginning at 4 p.m. RSVP to attend the
event by emailing Julie Slattery, Administrative Assistant to the Vice
President of Business and Community Partnerships at
jslattery@edisonohio.edu.
Now in its fifth decade of service, Edison State Community College is
committed to providing higher education and advanced training
opportunities for the people of the greater Miami Valley. Edison State
is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is recognized with
the highest order attainable by the Ohio Board of Regents. With
campuses in Piqua, Greenville, Troy, and Eaton, Edison State provides a
Personal Experience and Rewarding Education. Visit us online at
